I've been meaning to crititque this, so here it is. Not my greatest, but if I don't do it now, I never will. Please excuse any possible disjointedness and/or sentence fragments/grammar irregularities.

Great concept you have going on here, I really like it. The purples are very suitale for a witch and the details on the dress and hat (i.e. spiderwebs, spiders) make this an excellent design. I would buy this outfit in a heartbeat. I love the curves of the edges of the top and skirt, they are so sooth and subtle it is just gorgeous. The shading is all beautifully done as well; you have captured the way colours shift in highlights and shadows very well. The mastery of the shading really enhances the overall effect of the piece.

The mannikin is very well done as well. I like how you have it outlined in black, it gives it an haute couture feel to it, like something you'd see in a fancy boutique. The swirligigs of the base are also excellent--they have just the right amount of irregularity to make it really believable.

The texture of the broom is really nifty, I feel like I could reach out and touch it. I love the old whisk brooms, they are the greatest for sweeping and if you leave them out on mistake, you can claim it's part of the decor. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> However, I can help but feel that the shading on the broom handle is a bit off direction-wise--I think that based on the shading of the hat, dress, mannikin, &c., there should be a highlight running down the entire side of it.

All in all a quite excellent piece. Def. going to <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/f…" width="15" height="14" alt=":+favlove:" title="+favlove" /> this, it is wicked sweet (I made a pun/oxymoron!) Keep the vectors coming, you just keep getting better and better.
